Articulated frame for spectacles with hinged arms
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11906819B2) discloses a unique frame design for spectacles that includes a front mount with lateral lugs for articulation of arms, each equipped with a hinge pin to create an articulated connection. The arms consist of two portions, with the second portion bent towards the first and featuring a concave profile surrounding the pin to maintain relative positioning during movement. The frame also includes through-holes in the lugs for arm movement and resilient preloading for connection between the arm and pin.
Furthermore, the patented frame design incorporates a specific configuration for the second arm portion, comprising two contiguous parts angled towards each other to form a concave profile. The hinge pin features a lateral covering with planar surfaces angled for stable positioning of the arm in opening and closing positions. Additionally, the lug includes an abutment surface to define the limit of the arm's rotational movement, enhancing the functionality and durability of the spectacles frame.
